Farm Update
Although most of the flowers in the field are dead, the greenhouse flowers are still lovely! This weekend, most of them will be pulled out to make room for next year's flowers! Larkspur, Dianthus, Canterbury Bells, Corn Cockle, and Nigella are just a few of the cold hardy annuals that we will be planting. Fall work can be a cold and muddy task, but it results in beautiful flowers early in the spring.
I hope that you are all having a lovely fall!

Happy market day!! Come by Liberty Lake today, 9-1.
We are expecting low temps the next few days. I'm hopeful to have fresh bouquets next week, but no guarantees!!

If you haven't labeled your dahlias, it's time!! We had a light frost last week, and it served as a strict reminder that this chore needs to be at the top of the to-do list. This is the first step in digging and storing your tubers over the winter.
Are you planning on saving your tubers? I will be posting videos of my process. It's really not as difficult as it seems and is worth it when you don't have to buy so many tubers in the spring.

Bagging dahlias to prevent insect damage. This is a time-consuming process, but well worth it!!
Do you bag your dahlias??
It's market day!!! Come by @liberty_lake_farmers_market and grab some flowers!! Sunflowers. Feverfew, Clarkia, Yarrow, mixed bouquets, and more!!!

Have you pinched your Dahlias? If not, I hope that this video helps!!
It's going to be very cold tonight. Doing our best to cover as many things as possible. Fingers crossed that everything looks good in the morning!!
Come by The Liberty Lake Farmers Market today, 9-1. It's a little wet, but we are still here!!!

Did you know that pinching back your snapdragons will result in more blooms??? Give it a try, I promise you will thank me later!!

Keeping your plants fertilized and will fed is the best way to keep them healthy!! Everything starts with soil health, which is why I do a soil test each year. This helps me understand what weaknesses my soil has and how to correct it. I also spray my flowers weekly with a compost tea concoction. This not only helps to continually bring nutrients to the plants, but it also helps to keep pests away. Give it a try and let me know what you think!! Warning: The fish fertilizer is stinky!!!

Farm Tour
This area is called the triangle because it's a triangle! The ground just outside of the flowers is farmed with large machinery. Making square corners with a tractor is not really a thing. So, instead, we are left with rounded corners at the top and the bottom of the flower farm. Rather than wasting space, we plant shorter rows to fit in as many flowers as possible!!
